A bearded man with long dark hair, a red-orange sanyasi wrap and a tilak on his forehead walks smiling down a striped carpet aisle, carrying a tall staff. Devotees line both sides with palms pressed together in anjali; a woman in a green kurta and a man in white kurta stand near him, and a boy in an orange cloth sits in front with hands folded. Behind, a large backdrop shows a glowing blue-white starfield with a seated deity murti, and a white and red carved throne-like chair sits in the left foreground.
